When I updated my machine to Windows 11, the quick access items were moved beneath OneDrive in the File Explorer navigation pane. This is a big inconvenience since I always have my OneDrive folder expanded and can no longer scroll to the top to access my pinned folders. How do I get the pinned Quick Access items back to the top of the navigation pane where I can – ironically – access them quickly?

It always amazes me how Windows Developer on each new Windows version; they just make dump decisions by making features daily used by users harder to use or impossible such as this one, or the new useless start menu on win11 that remove all the cool and useful features of win10 start menu, or the new simplify popup menu when you right click on an icon that I have to always click on "Show more options" just to get the option that I want.
Thanks! I did it and it worked. Let's see if it lasts permanently.
Thanks...that's what I'm doing as well now.
Couldn't agree more! Microsoft really started screwing this File Navigation up when they go rid of the "shortcuts" and replaced them with "quick links" that forced you to use the name of the folder instead of being able to rename to whatever you wanted as is the case with a shortcut. I like to "indent" my quick access shortcuts by using "......." in front of the file name to give it some kind of outline hierarchy. Now if I want to do that I have to rename the actual folder! I believe that started in Windows 10. Now with Windows 11...they've been able to even screw that up!!! That is the problem with a corporation getting so big...they could care less what the individual user wants/needs!!
